DB Schenker, a major global logistics service provider based in Germany, is buying Arkansas-based carrier USA Truck as it continues its expansion into North America.
Einride for the first time publicly demonstrates how remote operators can monitor and control multiple autonomous, electric Pods from a single remote drive station.
Einride said its T-Pod autonomous vehicle weighs 26 metric tons (28.6 U.S. tons) when loaded and does not have a driver cabin, which it estimates reduces road freight operating costs by around 60% versus a diesel truck with a driver.
A platooning project conducted in Germany has demonstrated that the electronically linked system is “safe, technically reliable, and easily applicable in the routine of a logistics company,” according to the project's partners.
Global logistics company DB Schenker reportedly is taking a $25 million stake in U.S.-based uShip, which uses online technology to match freight shippers and carriers.
Online shipping and freight automation provider uShip has partnered with Germany-based global logistics company DB Schenker to power an online trucking platform launching later this year in Europe.
